Say "goodbye" to the shiny spandex Power Rangers costumes of the '90s — it's morphing time.
The first promo for the new "Power Rangers" movie that's set to premier in 2017 has arrived, and the Rangers have been upgraded, though not everyone is thrilled about the new uniforms.
Each ranger still has their own color, but the suits now also feature body armor, and in the case of the yellow and pink rangers, heels too.
That's right, Yellow Ranger Trini (who will be played by pop singer Becky G) and Pink Ranger Kimberly (played by Naomi Scott) are wearing wedges in a promo photo released by Entertainment Weekly.
